Surrey Gymnastic Society is located in the heart of Surrey with so much potential for growth and we are looking to build our team! Currently seeking preschool, recreational, and birthday party coaches for the remainder of the 2017 season. We need individuals that are enthusiastic, loves working with children of all ages, a team player, creative, and independently motivated.
The majority of our classes run on Wednesdays (3-9 pm) and Saturdays and Sundays (9 am – 1pm) with day time and field trips available. We use our own pre-school program and CANGYM for our school age programs.
*NOTE* Surrey Gymnastic Society is committed to assist in the obtaining of these certifications should you be missing any.
Wages are scaled dependent on qualifications, experience, and certifications.

While we appreciate everyone who applies, only those candidates selected for an interview will be contacted.
The following note was sent to SGS from Eleanor and George Lenz, parents of Carol Lenz for whom our Carol Lenz Memorial Competition is named. Eleanor and George come to the Invitational every year to see old friends and watch the competition. They are pictured here with Marilyn and Neil Laughlin who are also very long time friends of SGS. Our gym is named for Marilyn as she worked here for many years (had an athlete here) and she and Neil were very much involved in the building of this facility. It is always wonderful to see these two couples!
Hello to you all.
So nice to see you on Saturday and be present at the Competition. It is so nice that we are always included in this wonderful event to remember Carol.
I was so impressed as I watched the young girls compete on all events, but especially on floor. The music and choreography this year was so nice to watch. I could see that the girls also enjoyed the music and their routines.
It appears as though this is the largest meet so far, with over 900 gymnasts, judges, and coaches attending.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if someone donated funds for a large Gymnastics Facility.
The Surrey Gym Club can be so proud of how much they have grown over these past 40 years. George and I wish you success for the next 40 years.
Good job to you all.
Eleanor and George Lenz

Due to the limited availability of seats early registration is recommended for the upcoming Pro-D Day camps.
We are going to host three camps this spring: on February 17, May 5 and May 29.
Below is a very good and simple video about nutrition choices from one of the UK’s Olympic medalists, Nile Wilson.
I think this would be a great listen for all our gymnasts and of course any other athletes you have in your house!
